Scared to say it but I have seem to finally gain control of my nausea I think. Taking Zofran and benedryl/b6 combo has been amazing. It is still there but not puking or dry heaving near as much. @grebretso have you tried benedryl and b6? The unisom and b6 did nothing for me. It might be worth asking about zofran or diclegis(sp)?
But holy crap the sciatica pain and hip pain...wth?? Never heard of that before. I about died at work yesterday because walking was so hard, stupid restaurant job.
And yep, right there with everyone on the discharge..it is icky. Does anyone else still have sore nipples or am i just special? Like if they get hit, painful lighting bolt feel?
Overall I think I see the light at the end of tunnel! Feeling better than I have in months
DS started pre school last week and has had a runny, stuffy nose the past couple days and of course now I have it but worse. My head feels like it is going to explode from the sinus pressure and I can’t breath at all out of my nose. Ughhh and I know this is only the beginning of the sickness he will bring home from school this winter
Thanks for the tip @hnbergeron! I haven't tried anything yet, I stupidly thought I'd just be sick for a little while and then it would pass, so I figured I'd just grit and bear it. Initially that worked and I was fine, but now it's back and worse than ever. From the sounds of it though I'm not nearly as sick as you are (or were, yay for it getting better!), so hopefully unisom + B6 will be enough.

I have moments throughout the day where I just feel terrible, I become pale and shaky and nauseous all at once, if I don’t sit down I imagine I’d pass out. I really hope this passes soon
@kayjay44 me too! I feel like people around me are already starting to get sick and it’s still 90 degrees outside! Between DS in school and my job as a nurse I feel like this winter is going to be awful!
Week 16, still puking here daily. I saw my Ob this week, and she suggested eating a biscuit before I get out of bed to help with nausea. I think she meant more a plain gingernut type biscuit, but I've strategically put a packet of tim tams next to my bed for tomorrow...
Preeettty sure each of my pregnancy symptoms just perpetually exacerbates the others into an endless vicious cycle
Right now I'm at pounding headache made worse by the increased congestion but can't take anything because I've been vomiting made worse by the post-nasal drip and the resulting dehydration is making the headache worse
@conchispita and @notthecheat I hope y'all can work from home today, or at least don't have busy days at work! That sounds miserable. My headaches cause me to be nauseated, which also then starts as spiral. It sucks. I've been feeling okay today so far, knock on wood, but the day is young.
Sporadic RLP and some fun pulling sensations going on in the abdomen for me. I definitely still have food aversions but the nausea is gone. I'm really sorry to you ladies who are still puking, that is rough.
@thechickendance... sounds like were both in the same boat. I sometimes have to force myself to eat when i really just want to hurl at the thought of it
I’ve got a pulling feeling right at my belly button line (mostly right side). I only feel it when I’m walking, not sitting. I’m confident it’s normal but of course I run to Google and then panic.
Youd think as a TTM, I’d have more chill. I don’t.
Second day of puking my guts out at home instead of going to work. Having H pick me up some Unisom and B6 because this is getting ridiculous. I was able to keep down some fried rice last night at least, and I managed to sleep for 12 hours. Trying to sleep as much as possible because I don't feel nauseous when unconscious, but I ended up having terrible nightmares and now my head hurts from too much sleep. Not exactly loving life these days.

I have been so sore today. My back hurts. RLP. I have what feels like groin pain. Just the worst. I also need my energy. 15 weeks tomorrow, so come on second tri goodness!
i feel for everyone near the smoky areas. I have a few friends in BC and they have said the same. I hope you’re all safe!
Just threw up a whole bunch on my drive home. It’s not easy to puke and drive. I’m home in bed and feel like shit. I’m not eating much already so I need all the calories I can get.
At least the smoke is clearing! I mustered up the energy to do some laundry - I have to go outside to get to the laundry room - and I saw clear, blue sky and didn't cough once! According to the internet the air quality still isn't great, but it's nowhere near as awful as it's been the past couple days. Hopefully this is the end of it.

@gretbretso and @kayjay44 sorry to hear about the puke. I started dry heaving again today pretty good. Kinda wish it was full on pukes though. My doctor seems to be dragging thier feet on my prescription renewal. Hopefully in time! I hope the unisom and b6 works.
My skin is dying. Like I literally am molting. I was finally cleared to take a bath after my surgery two days ago and the amount of dry skin was scary. I took a picture and sent it to hubby. He laughed. Cereve seems to help my itchy tummy however.
Nails and skin peeling off doesn’t sound too pleasant either, we’re all literally falling apart! I made it to work today at least, and I’m feeling a little better than the past few days. I’m even having coffee without feeling like I have to puke! I’ll probably sustain myself on banana and peanut butter today though. Baby steps.

My skin is also shedding. It seems that shorter showers with lukewarm water is doing the trick, though, because it's much less worse now than it was last week, and that's the thing I've changed. I love really hot showers, but I think that was drying out my skin even more. I have the worst allergies this week. I don't know what's blooming or rotting here in Georgia, but my immune system does not agree with it. The constant tickle in my throat and drainage is causing me to gag constantly.
I threw up at work and totally peed my pants in the process. Not a little leak, full on wet spot between the legs, so I came home to change and am heading back before anyone notices I’m gone. Anyhow, feeling a little depressed that I’m a grown woman soiling myself like a toddler.

The hope was pretty nice while it lasted, I'll give it that.

I improvised, flipped a recycling bin upside down and my feet are up under my desk. Take that swelling.

My symptoms are pretty low key except my damn nails are peeling off like one by one...wth? I thought pregnancy makes your nails way better
